a pharmacokinetics (pk) study in healthy adults

Conditions: Blepharoptosis

Summary: this is to characterize stn1013800 active ingredient bioavailability following multiple-dose ocular administration of stn1013800 to both eyes in healthy adults. it is a pk study with screening period of up to 28 days + dosing period of 7 days + follow-up period of 2 days. at present, there are no medicines for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis in china. therefore, efficacy and safety phase iii study is also currently being conducted.
